Vegetable-Powered Pasta Meals

Noodles & Company is Expanding Its Menu with Zucchini Noodle Dishes

— May 8, 2019 — Lifestyle
After introducing Zoodles to its menu last spring, Noodles & Company is expanding its offerings to include two new zucchini noodle-based items. Knowing that many people are looking for lighter, healthier, plant-powered options, Noodles & Company is introducing Zucchini & Asparagus with Lemon Sauce and Zucchetti in White Wine Garlic Sauce with Balsamic Chicken.

While the Zucchini & Asparagus with Lemon Sauce dish features fresh Roma tomatoes, roasted zucchini and a creamy, tangy sauce that's topped with toasted breadcrumbs and parsley, the Zucchetti in White Wine Garlic Sauce with Balsamic Chicken offers a mix of equal parts zucchini noodles and spaghetti noodles. These light, fresh and colorful takes on traditional pasta dishes offer intriguing ways for diners to add more vegetables to their plate.
Trend Themes
1. Plant-powered Menu Options - Expanding menus to include vegetable-based dishes provides innovative alternatives for healthier, plant-based dining experiences.
2. Zucchini Noodles - The introduction of zucchini noodles as a pasta substitute allows for more creative and nutritious meal options.
3. Lighter Pasta Alternatives - Offering lighter pasta alternatives, such as zucchini noodles, appeals to customers seeking healthier and low-carb options.
Industry Implications
1. Restaurant - Restaurants can leverage the growing demand for healthier dining options by introducing plant-based dishes on their menus.
2. Food Manufacturing - Food manufacturers can explore incorporating zucchini noodles into their product offerings to cater to health-conscious consumers.
3. Food Delivery - Food delivery companies can partner with restaurants offering zucchini noodle dishes to tap into the demand for healthier meal options.
